Germany: Pro-Israel group attacked

Five men attacked members of a new pro-Israel leftist group (BAK Shalom), apparently out of antisemitic or anti-Israeli motives. One of the attackers identified himself as a 'racist Turk'.

Various leftist anti-Israel groups had previously announced they would prevent the meeting from taking place.

One of the victims wore a kippah and a shirt saying "fight antisemitism". He was asked if he's Jewish, and when he answered that he is, he was told "then it's okay". His girlfriend, who tried to protect him, was also beaten up. Another girl was asked if she's Iranian.
